 PRKscOrT, Dec. l2, 1887. To the Hon. James H Wright, Judge
 of the Third Judicial District, Terri
 tory of Arizona:
 We, the United States Grand Jury, for the November term, 1887, peg leave to make this our final report, and re- quest that we be discharged.
 We have examined all charges brought before us and have found in dictments as follows: Perjury, Sub ornAtion of Perjury, l. Sell Ing whisky to Indians, Polygsmy, l. Adul- tery, 3.
 We feel satisfied that many cases eX- ist where parties have unia wiully cut and removed timber from government land, and illegally entered and taken up government land, and while We would have been glad to investigate such cases, we have not had the proper evidence laid before us, we would most respectfully request that the prop CT government, officials look fully into these matters, and when cases are found to have the evidence, and witnesses ready for examination, and investiga- tion, by the next U. $ Grand Jury, if possibls,-the investigation to cover all parts of this District
 The attention of the Grand Jury has been called to the fact that certain counties of this territory have seeming ly disregarded an act of congress, pas-- ed for the purpose of checking extrava- gance in the administration of county affairs in the territories, and usually known and termed the Harrison Act. " It is asserted that the counties referred to have within the past year issued evi- dences of indebtedness in excess of the limit prescribed in and by said Act, and violation of law.
 We would, therefore, recommend that the U. s. Attorney make such an in- vestigation into the affairs of the diifer- ent counties as will determine the truth or falsity of such assertions and. il found As represented. present the same, with proper witnesses, to the next U. $. Grand Jury for their consideration, that the responsibility may be fixed and the guilty parties punished accord ingly. 0. N. CREswELL,
 Foreman of the Grand Jury
